Thanks to Justin Timberlake, NSYNC, and the
entirety of the internet, you’re fully aware that it’s May. Nope not April,

So, now that it’s officially May, that can only mean one
thing for you high-school upperclassmen.

PROM SEASON!

The excitement hits you like a ton of bricks. A night with
all of your best friends, getting all dressed up and dancing the night away.
What could be better? Chances are that your ASB has already been doing prom
planning for months to make it the best it can be. You think of the venue, the
decorations, and the best-kept secrets ASB has been hiding so well for months.
Such grand surprises are in store.

Your daydreaming comes to a screeching halt when you’re
snapped back to reality after being called on in your AP Stats class. Population standard deviation? You were not
prepared for that question. Not prepared at all. After your moment
of shame, you realize:

You are not prepared for prom.

Who is going to ask you?

Isaac from Biology has
been giving me funny looks lately. I bet he’s in love.

What will you wear?

Definitely a
masquerade mask. I need to find my Chad Michael Murray.

How will you get there?

I definitely can’t
have my mom take me like she did for freshman homecoming.

Where will you go to dinner?

Oooo...Olive Garden
Breadsticks.

WHO IS GOING TO ASK
YOU?

What if Isaac does ask
me?!

We know you've been busy with school, pep rallies, and social life. Don’t fret—we’ve got a couple notes on how to have the BEST
time ever at prom.

1.Plan it Out

The best way to alleviate stress is
to plan everything to the best of your ability. Make sure to get your dress in
plenty of time before prom, in order to make sure you have time to make any
last minute tailoring or match your accessories.

2.Figure Out Your Transportation

Whether you want to drive, go all out and
take a limousine, or arrive in the Oscar Mayer Weiner van, (my prom night dream
that none of my friends wanted to partake in) make sure you have it situated.
It’s likely that you’ll want to arrive with your friends, so if you’re going to
pool for a limo, divvy up the costs and make sure to collect money from
everybody.

3.Don’t Worry So Much About Your Date

Yes, you want to have the best night you
can, with the best people you know surrounding you. With that being said, don’t
overthink your prom date. If you don’t have a boyfriend you’re going with,
remember that whoever asks you is not a huge deal. Say yes to Isaac! This is not a lifetime
commitment.

4.Don’t Get Stuck on Perfection

Remember to let loose and take advantage of all of the fun stuff that has been set up for your event. Grab your teammates and head over to the photo booth, or start a giant dance circle. Use those cheer moves and don't be afraid to act silly! There
might be a few hiccups throughout the night, but this is bound to happen. Someone is going to be late, someone will step on your dress, and you might stumble a few times in your heels. Focus on all of the fun you're having--just because the DJ
refused to play Mason Ramsey’s Yodeling Remix and the last pig in a blanket was
stolen by Chomping Charlie doesn’t mean you aren’t having the best time ever at prom.

However you get there, whoever you’re with, wherever you
are,we hope you have the most
magical night!
